As director of programs and communications for Employers Health, Marcas Miles works to provide member companies with the best prices on prescriptions and health benefits.

It is a concern he has for everyone in Stark County. And as a volunteer founding member and chairman of Access Health Stark County, he works with 267 Stark County physicians to get care for the uninsured.

“His passion for ensuring that the uninsured of Stark County are served is tremendous,” said Ken Weber, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio, and one of Miles’ nominators.

“Marcas is incredibly dedicated to the Stark County community, volunteering his time and talents with a number of nonprofit organizations,” Weber wrote. “He truly cares about his community and the quality of life for the people in it.”

Miles grew up in rural Harrison County and graduated from Malone University. To him, at the time, he said, Canton was “the big city.”

He now lives in North Canton, where he plans to stay. He likes that he has the opportunity here to make a difference.

“I see a lot of young professionals looking to give back and help others achieve,” he said.

To get more young professionals, he advises that Stark County focus on our strengths and not try to be something we are not.
